Died (alas!) on this day in 1693, in Amsterdam, Nicolaes Maes. Marvelous painter of daily life and portraits. Here by himself in 1685, as a famous old dude.

Lovely scene from the Tacuinum sanitatis from the 1440s showing a common household, they're making cheese and a poor person (no shoes, holes in hose) is tasting it.
Lovely big but angry looking dog.
Oh look, shock horror... COLOURFUL CLOTHES.

Reconstruction of the 17th century lady whose skeleton was found in Pień (Poland) with the blade of a sickle over her neck.
Someone seem to have been worried she'd come back to life.
O.D. Nilsson made her look normal, not weird, scary or mysterious as others might have.
